Using adblock or noscript might help us, but the first and most important protection is your own awareness. Make sure that you don't browse carelessly by clicking any pop-up windows that look shady. Most of the times it shows up on download site, porn site or something similar. You can also use Linux as most virus/malware/etc are targetting Windows users (though of course, this doesn't mean you'll be free from anything).
I am lucky that I have this kind of browser extension for that hidden advertisements. Adblock is highly recommended for all of us. Even if we don't have adblockers we should be more careful when clicking ads or reading ads.

A simple adblock extension like Adblock Plus should be able to block most popups and hidden ads that might come up when you're browsing on a desktop computer that supports Chrome. If you're using an adblocker and a site's telling you to turn off the adblock, Anti-Adblock Killer (click for link) should be able to disable whatever's telling you to turn your adblock off.
Unfortunately, there's really no good solution to blocking ads on Chrome mobile or mobile browsers in general AFAIK. Chrome has a setting on mobile to block popups but some still do get past.

simply just activate pop-up blocker!
if you don't expect any pop up as a response to your action on that site, immediately close that pop up
best bet that pop up is just useless ads, and some are tricking you to install malware

Such shady advertisements are usually used on websites which have illegal content and can't use good ad networks like Google Adsense to monetize their website. Such ads can be found on sports streaming websites, porn and torrent websites, crypto faucets. What you can do to avoid it? Just don't visit websites with such shady ads. Or use adblock, it helps to bypass these type of ads.

Correct, most a times popup windows are attempt from hackers to gain control or to exploit our system as to see valuable information for extract. One must be careful while surfing the internet, becasue these are tricks use by these heartless individuals to steal information|data. Long ago, in my place of work, upto 5 computer systems where hacked becasue of negligence on the part of my colleague, who unintentionally and un-cautiously click a popup window without reading the message from the window pop.
Have learned to read popup windows messages or evaluate links before click to stay safe on the internet. Although according to Black Hat, no system is SAFE!, but at least with this guide our system are safe 90%.

It is to notify all of you that On several website users being forced to click on unexpected popups yes or confirm button. In this situation many times you are not able to get back from that web page without clicking a single button there. Its a hacking trap where on these popup hacker use hide phishing link and malware to get access on your device.
In many cases if you see carefully that you click on play button to see a video or download an image but it redirects you to another pages where you click again but your video isn't playing and same for the image. Its another common way to open loop to get access on visitors account or device. These are called hide advertisement which are extremely risky for the existing visitor of the website. Specially these are really common in porn sites where worlds most of the porn sites have no SSL and hackers target those sites visitor for a successful hacking attempt. Sometimes those popup shows like;
